Ivan Shipnigov (b. 1987) is a screenwriter, writer, author of the novel "Stream" and a collection of short stories "Oil, Blizzard and Other Merry Gods". Winner of the "Moscow Art Prize" and a finalist for the literary awards "Yasnaya Polyana", "NOS" and "National Bestseller".In the new book "An Incomprehensible Romance" two storylines. In one, the hero gives an interview to a fictional YouTube-blogger, in the second - at night looking for treasure with a friend in the forest near Moscow. The drunken interview without montage becomes a nostalgic space for 2017-2019, when rappers came to the fictional youtube-blogger and talked about girls and creativity, and the romantic walk turns into a psychedelic trip, in which the original goal is quickly lost and the main task is to return home.... "An Incomprehensible Romance" is a journey into the depths of oneself in the genre of auto-fiction, an attempt to hide from the roaring 2020s "in a cabin" of true family values. Farewell to youth, acceptance of sobriety, confession of love. "Ivan Shipnigov surprises: unexpected turns of plot, paradoxical thinking, real wit that does not pass into vulgar humor. A new format of prose, which creates Shipnigov, drags on, bothers. But the main thing: the effect of recognition. You read and constantly catch yourself that this and this was also with you, that so and you acted, so and you thought ... I am sure that many people, having opened "The Misunderstood Romance", will find in it close. Everything in there is ultimately understandable. And purifyingly sad." Roman Senchin "- In general, have you noticed how in our country coming to Moscow is considered an escape from all troubles? If you feel bad somewhere - and as a rule, you feel bad everywhere - then you have to go to Moscow, and it will definitely be good there. I can imagine how you old Muscovites don't like us, coming and going endlessly from our villages to escape to Moscow. Although I live in Moscow like in a village anyway..."
